Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend -- not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). In this bold talk, he says: Let's change the way we think about changing the world.

Charitable Giving in America: Some Facts and Figures
http://nccs.urban.org/data-statistics/charitable-giving-america-some-facts-and-figures
"From the nonprofit's perspective, many organizations report similar conclusions. According to the Winter2011 issue of the Nonprofit Fundraising Survey, over half of the nonprofit organizations queried reported that they received over a quarter of their contributions between October and December, with 16 percent of all organizations receiving over half their year's total contributions during those same months."
Seeking the Why of Giving
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/22/business/seeking-the-why-of-giving.html
"One external incentive to give money is recognition, and charities tap into that by offering cards, gifts and special mentions on programs and websites. But a study published this year in The Journal of Marketing found that recognition seems to work only for a small subset of people - those who feel that it's important to express their moral values to others, said Karen Winterich, an assistant marketing professor at Pennsylvania State University and one of the study's authors."
The science of generosity
https://news.utexas.edu/2011/12/22/the-science-of-generosity
"What motivates this outpouring of good will? Americans donated nearly $300 billion in 2011, surpassing the gross domestic product of all but 33 countries in the world, according to a 2010 report by the Giving USAFoundation. Though the tradition of giving has existed for centuries, researchers have only begun to explore this question in the past 20 years."

Lisa Lalande, ExecutiveLead of Mowat NFP talks about her experience and insight transitioning from a corporate environment to the non-profit sector over 10 years ago. Want to learn more? Subscribe to our channel or visit our website at http://www.charityexecutive.tv
Shifting from the corporate sector to the social sector was not easy for Lisa Lalande. Leaving behind a world focused entirely on the bottom line - where efficiency, focus, and discipline are second nature, to a passion driven environment requires an entire shift in career mentality. The social sector although staffed with high performing, dedicated teams often lacks the resources, network, and structure encompassed by the corporate sector. When the mindset remains, lets do this because it is the right thing to do, it can be tough to adjust your corporate frame of mind to an ultimately passion driven environment.

The legal definition of charitable organization (and of charity) varies according to the country and in some instances the region of the country in which the charitable organization operates. The regulation, tax treatment, and the way in which charity law affects charitable organizations also varies.

Financial figures (e.g.,tax refund, revenue from fundraising, revenue from sale of goods and services or revenue from investment) are important indicators to assess the financial sustainability of a charity, especially to charity evaluators. This information can impact a charity's reputation with donors and societies, and thus, the charity's financial gains.

Charitable organizations often depend partly on donations from for-profit-organizations. Such donations to charitable organizations represent a major form of corporate philanthropy.

The Foresight Institute has several running prizes, including the annual Feynman Prizes given in experimental and theory categories, and the $250,000 Feynman Grand Prize for demonstrating two molecular machines capable of nanoscale positional accuracy and computation.

History

Two sister organizations were formed: the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing and the Center for Constitutional Issues in Technology.

Foresight Institute was founded "to guide emerging technologies to improve the human condition" but focused "its efforts upon nanotechnology, the coming ability to build materials and products with atomic precision, and upon systems that will enhance knowledge exchange and critical discussion". In May 2005, the Foresight Institute changed its name to "Foresight Nanotech Institute" and narrowed its mission to "ensure beneficial implementation of nanotechnology. Foresight is accomplishing this by providing balanced, accurate and timely information to help society understand and utilize nanotechnology through public policy activities, publications, guidelines, networking events, tutorials, conferences, roadmaps and prizes."

Video of Foresight Institute workshop at Effective Altruism Global 2017 in San Francisco:
How To Evaluate Hard-To-Quantify-Projects From The EA Perspective.
The EA movement is attracting a great deal of well-deserved attention, especially from idealistic young people. Most of the charities endorsed by EA organizations are doing immediately measurable work, but often that work was made possible by science and technology R&D done earlier. The effectiveness of this R&D work is essential but very hard to measure. Let's tackle this problem head-on as a group! We’ll explore both how breakthrough science can be evaluated by EA standards, and how individual EAs can figure out whether they have a comparative advantage in focusing on these endeavors.

Allison Duettmann, Foresight Institute

Americans donated nearly $300 billion in 2011, surpassing the gross domestic product of all but 33 countries in the world, according to a 2010 report by the Giving USAFoundation. Though the tradition of giving has existed for centuries, researchers have only begun to explore this question in the past 20 years."

Shifting from the corporate sector to the social sector was not easy for Lisa Lalande. Leaving behind a world focused entirely on the bottom line - where efficiency, focus, and discipline are second nature, to a passion driven environment requires an entire shift in career mentality. The social sector although staffed with high performing, dedicated teams often lacks the resources, network, and structure encompassed by the corporate sector. When the mindset remains, lets do this because it is the right thing to do, it can be tough to adjust your corporate frame of mind to an ultimately passion driven environment.

Video of Foresight Institute workshop at Effective Altruism Global 2017 in San Francisco:
How To Evaluate Hard-To-Quantify-Projects From The EA Perspective.
The EA movement is attracting a great deal of well-deserved attention, especially from idealistic young people. Most of the charities endorsed by EA organizations are doing immediately measurable work, but often that work was made possible by science and technology R&D done earlier. The effectiveness of this R&D work is essential but very hard to measure. Let's tackle this problem head-on as a group! We’ll explore both how breakthrough science can be evaluated by EA standards, and how individual EAs can figure out whether they have a comparative advantage in focusing on these endeavors.

Allison Duettmann, Foresight Institute

The way we think about charity is dead wrong | Dan Pallotta

Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend -- not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). In this bold talk, he says: Let's change the way we think about changing the world.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

Charitable Giving in America: Some Facts and Figures
http://nccs.urban.org/data-statistics/charitable-giving-america-some-facts-and-figures
"From the nonprofit's perspective, many organizations report similar conclusions. According to the Winter2011 issue of the Nonprofit Fundraising Survey, over half of the nonprofit organizations queried reported that they received over a quarter of their contributions between October and December, with 16 percent of all organizations receiving over half their year's total contributions during those same months."
Seeking the Why of Giving
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/22/business/seeking-the-why-of-giving.html
"One external incentive to give money is recognition, and charities tap into that by offering cards, gifts and special mentions on programs and websites. But a study published this year in The Journal of Marketing found that recognition seems to work only for a small subset of people - those who feel that it's important to express their moral values to others, said Karen Winterich, an assistant marketing professor at Pennsylvania State University and one of the study's authors."
The science of generosity
https://news.utexas.edu/2011/12/22/the-science-of-generosity
"What motivates this outpouring of good will? Americans donated nearly $300 billion in 2011, surpassing the gross domestic product of all but 33 countries in the world, according to a 2010 report by the Giving USAFoundation. Though the tradition of giving has existed for centuries, researchers have only begun to explore this question in the past 20 years."

Video of Foresight Institute workshop at Effective Altruism Global 2017 in San Francisco:
How To Evaluate Hard-To-Quantify-Projects From The EA Perspective.
The EA movement is attracting a great deal of well-deserved attention, especially from idealistic young people. Most of the charities endorsed by EA organizations are doing immediately measurable work, but often that work was made possible by science and technology R&D done earlier. The effectiveness of this R&D work is essential but very hard to measure. Let's tackle this problem head-on as a group! We’ll explore both how breakthrough science can be evaluated by EA standards, and how individual EAs can figure out whether they have a comparative advantage in focusing on these endeavors.
